The haters don't like Papa John because he actually runs a profitable company (in a tough business). And makes a decent pizza to boot. He is against Obamacare because, like many businesses, it will increase their costs. That has to come out of somewhere. Companies are in business to make money, not to fund dubious social experiments. Companies will cut people and/or hours to remain competitive. You don't like it, buy somewhere else. But this company will survive.

Also, had trouble with ontime ordering for a while. Their online system is much, much more reliable. Have had good success with it, plus you get a free pizza after 25 points. Good deal.

Honestly this is my favorite Pizza chain but since I've learned about how John has consistantly screwed over his employees I choose to not support the business. Support your local shops people.

Agreed. Local shops make much better pizza as well. It's a win/win.

"According to "Papa" John Schnatter, the cost of providing health insurance for all of his pizza chain's uninsured, full-time employees comes out to about 14 cents on a large pizza."

I'll gladly pay an extra 14 cents a pizza so PJ's employees can go to the doctor when they are sick.

Green, love the code! If you don't want to buy STUFF from companies that screw over their employees, I am sure you would be unwilling to grab a 40" LED TV on Black Friday for $150 too. Your Fatwallet experience has to be very limited; that or you are all hypocrites!

Yeah, I don't care if the guy making my pizza is sick and is too poor to afford to see a doctor and take a couple of days off. I also don't care if the guy delivering my pizza has car insurance or not. I also don't care what condition his care is in, and what bad emissions his car is letting out. I will keep my 14 cents.

Turns out Papa John has always provided health insurance to its own employees. The misrepresented quotes come from a discussion in which he merely speculated as to what the _franchisees_ MIGHT do. Get the facts right, people.

"Papa John's, like most businesses, is still researching what the Affordable Care Act means to our operations," he wrote. "Regardless of the conclusion of our analysis, we will honor this law, as we do all laws, and continue to offer 100 percent of Papa John's corporate employees and workers in company-owned stores health insurance as we have since the company was founded in 1984."

Haha..yeah none of us want Papa John's employees to be able to get medical treatment when they are sick. When we get sick because they spread their illness to us while making our food we can just go to the doctor ourselves. Problem solved.
